Infant

8 weeks to 18 months

Overview

Our Infant program, designed for children from six weeks to 18 months, offers a beautiful, sunlit, spacious, safe and secure environment that is custom designed for infants to explore. Within this safe harbor, they enjoy freedom of movement to discover and interact, all the while developing gross and fine motor skills like grasping, reaching, and climbing.

Schedules

The Infant Program is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Schedules are a minimum of six hours a day. (7:30 – 8:00 AM is available upon request)

Developmental Milestones

At this age, children are building motor skills such as crawling, sitting, standing and taking their first steps. They are also learning to communicate through actions and sounds. Emotionally, this is an important age where infants learn to build trust in the environment as well as with their caregivers. Developmentally, the brain is growing and making rapid synaptic connections.

Curriculum Highlights

Our Infant Center is not merely child care; it is a program designed to fully develop the potential in each child based on the needs of infants, staffed by loving, highly-trained developmental experts. These experts base their approach on a deep respect for childhood and the partnership between parents and educator. The center is rich with age-appropriate materials that build and challenge cognitive and sensory abilities.
